Florida Couple Gets Into Knife Fight Over Farting

It started when he farted.

An Immokalee woman who is accused of throwing a kitchen knife at her longtime boyfriend told detectives she became angry when he passed gas in her face while they were watching TV Tuesday night, according to an arrest report.

Deborah Ann Burns, 37, said when she confronted her 53-year-old boyfriend about the flatulence he told her to “shut up.” The two began arguing and at some point ended up in the kitchen, deputies reported.

The boyfriend was later found outside the home on the 400 block of Gaunt Street with a small knife wound to his stomach, reports stated.

that may not be appropriate.

Anyway, I can imagine one slipping out while squeezing past her on the couch and that's kinda embarrassing on a first date, but after a few years it's a comedy routine and the usual apology should do.

But methinks there's a lot more bad juju here than meets the eye. It almost sounds like he stuck his bad ass in her face and cut one just to piss her off and then got pissed himself when it worked.

I'm also thinking 50 grand for bail in a domestic thing where no one got seriously hurt is a bit much, and bespeaks more serious things not spoken of here.

"when he passed gas in her face"

Why did she have her face so close to his emissions outlet in the first place? Especially while watching tv?
